There's prejudice everywhere. I don't think the music industry is as bad as the movie industry. But I have taken a few hits over the years for my sexuality, and for being honest about my life. In the end, it's the music that rules the roost.

I like to make the mundane fabulous whenever I can.

I will take my coffee black / never snack / hang with the wolves who are sheepish.

My dad and I have always been somewhat competitive.

I think my mother, more than anyone, knew the importance of inspiration. If it was occurring, you had to use it.

I believe a lot of our lives are spent asleep, and what I've been trying to do is hold on to those moments when a little spark cuts through the fog and nudges you.

The mind has so many pictures Why can't I sleep with my eyes open? The mind has so many memories Can you remember what it looks like when I cry? I'm trying, trying to tell you All that I can in a sweet and velvet tongue But no words ever could sell you Sell you on me after all that I have done.
